Imagery and Figurative Language in Tennyson’s “Morte d’Arthur”

Question 5 • ***CPS Online English Language Arts 12 Fall – 1-2027

Which line contains a simile?

Answer
A
“Three Queens with crowns of gold”
B
“an agony / Of lamentation, like a wind, that shrills”
C
“And to the barge they came.”

Explanation

A simile compares two things using words such as “like” or “as.” Choice B compares the sound of lamentation to a wind that shrills, using “like,” so it contains a simile. The other lines do not make this kind of comparison.
